I want to meet somebody like me

Wears his past well, yet in love, he still believes

Take vacations inside books and movies, but eventually comes home to me

Knows who he is and who he wants to be

Has spent years drafting his story,

making edits, and rewriting regularly


I know how the saying goes,

but there's only one fish in my sea

He's amiable and outgoing,

thoughtful and smart,

Might not be an artist, 

but he looks like a work of art


He's playful like summer and affectionate like fall

I might not be Cinderella, but he's the Prince Charming at the ball


I'm not sure who you are and where to find you,

but it would be really nice to meet you

The type of man that I want ...
Well, it's easier said than had 
And it's been taking a while now

Don't worry; I'm not in a rush 
I believe that the higher power knows something that I can't see 

He's smart and funny 
Gentle and so kind 
Can sometimes read my mind 
Gives me peace, comfort, and a sense of security
Always makes me feel wanted 

He's my home:
The one whom I run to when days are dark and foggy 
And when I need someone to tell about the metallic unicorn keychain I just bought

He's my home:
On the days when we sit in silence 
And even after we had a long night of debate 

Oh, he loves to tell me how he feels
And I do too 
He said, "I like that we are an open book to each other"

With him, there's no room for second-guessing 
He says exactly what he means 
And because we're good partners
I clean, and he cooks

He doesn't whisper I love you 
Because he said it loud like it was a daily announcement 
You know, similar to the one you hear at school before recess 

And even if it takes a really long time to meet him
I know he'll love the woman I'm becoming
